THE POINTBK T> I t CHAPEL CONDUCT Our high school is judged very much by our discipline during as- assembly in chapel. It is very an noying to the speaker or entertainer to hear whispering, and shuffling of feet and chairs. During the debate in chapel Friday morning there was quite a bit ol noise. I am sure this w’as very dis courteous to the speakers. It is very difficult for one to be heard in our auditorium and if the student body doesn’t cooperate and show due respect it is extremely hard for the speaker. If we have the privilege of having good programs it is the duty of each one of us to make them successful. Hereafter let us show the right school spirit. —Pauline Hicks. AFFIRMATIVE DEBATING TEAM LOSES TO WINSTON (Continued from Page 1) endeavored to prove the value of the port terminals. She contended that the develop- men of port terminals would develop trade and stimulate business; _ also that the port terminals were self- supporting and that trunk lines were now running east and west through out our state. Miss Douglas gave examples of ports bwmed and main tained by states that were self-sup porting and increasing the wealth of their states. She leclared t’.at the railroads were over-taxed with too much ton nage. . Miss Douglas ended with: “North Carolina has won nation-wide fame in wealth and growth. Did she gain this by hesitating? She is one with a statewide vision, the greatest in the South, and the people of Nortn Carolina can not turn a deaf ear to the port terminals.” The second speaker on the negative was Spruill Thornton. He endeavored to prove that freight rates would not be reduced and that the ports couln not support thorns Ives and that taxes would ha''e to bo increased.

L. Patrick, one of the teachers of English in High Point High School, will address the North Carolina Council for English Teachers at Duke University, Durham, March 27th and 28th, on the subject of “Debating In Its Relation to Oral Composition.” In his talk he will endeavor to explain why we do not have oral composition in the high schools. Especially will he stress some of the benefits resulting from oral composi tion. He will contribute many sug gestions and methods by which every one may develop not only written composition, but also oral. Henry Grady Owens, head of the English department will talk on the subject of “The English Forum” and its contact with nearby states. His plan is to secure the cooperation ol. North Carolina, South Carolina arid Virginia in publishing The English Forum, wdiich he started publishing last year. THESE POEMS Meet a senior, ask him if he is studying very much this time of the year, and you’ll find yourself in one of the two hospitals in High Point. The Seniors are now getting hard boiled. Mr. Owens has been making them learn and write some poetry, and all your hear now in Senior study room, is, “Oh, shucks, I can’t learn that stuff. Why does he make us learn it, anyway.” Then you will hear from one comer of the room, “My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky—” “Oh, shut up, you’re not the only pebble on the beach I’m trying to study that thing, too.” Then someone breaks loose with. “She was a phantom of delight, V.fiien first she gleamed upon my sight. A lovely What do you call it? She’s a lovely appariton of my sight. Oh! shucks, I don’t know that thing, and I don’t care whether I learn it or not.” Slam! Bang! A book slams shut and sails through the air to land on another desk. Then, in will come “Red” Some- body-or-Other and spring the news that “Mr. Owens will flunk you if von don’t learn the poems.” And someone el=e wi'l sing out, “Mr. f^wens hasn’t a thing to do with it. You’ll flunk yourself.’’ Then theater-goer who has seen the “Isle of Chance,” will add: "T'’'''’s what they all say.” The best thing to do is not to sneak to the Seniors at all. If you about the weather don’t say ■invthing about seeing “a rainbow in he sky.” or “the broad sun sink- ■ down in its tranquility.” An-l i!" ycu’re thinking about the ■'■•alk last nioht when you took out '■our swe‘’thea’'t don’t dare say. “f’er ch'M. dear girl, that walkest wi‘b me bore,’’ or “as fair art thou, 'u" honnie lass, so deep in love aui T •' 1,-rrrse you might offend ^tome (P'-nifi'-d Senior, who has decided not RHONDDA WELSH SINGERS AT HIGH SCHOOL The students of the hi.gh school c.::d the citizens of High Point will be given an opportunity to hear the Rhondda Welsh Male Singers, win ners of the great international musi cal festival in Pittsburg, Pa., in the. school auditorium on April 3. These men competed against 63 other choirs and won first prize of ?1,000. These singers are now the great est in their line. They come here with a number of recommendations from other towns. This is an opportunity not to be overlooked as it is very seldom that such entertainers appear before the people of High Point. The admission for adults is $1, and for children fifty cents. NOTICE In last week's Pointer a mistake was made concerning the Easter hol idays. The Pointer always strives to avoid mistakes, but after carefully going over everything, mistakes some times slip through. Instead of. getting out of school Wednesday afternoon, April 8, and returning Monday morning, April 13, the students will be in school Thurs day and will get out that afternoon and will not return until Tuesday morning, April 14.
